_ _ _ Underneath the [Am] lantern, by the [Am] barricade Darling, I remember the way you [G] used to wait
[C] It was there that you whispered [G]
tenderly [Em] That you [Gb] loved me, [G] you'd always be
_ My lily of the land, _ my [D] own [G] lily, my lady _
Time would come for old Cole, [Am] time [Gb] for us to part Darling, I'd caress you and press you [G] to my heart _
Underneath that far off lantern light [Gb] I'd hold you tight, we'd kiss [G] goodnight
My lily of the land, my _ [D] own [Gb] lily, [G] my lady
_ Orders came for [A] sailing somewhere [Gb] over there All [D] confined to barracks was [G] more than I could [Eb] bear
[Fm] I knew you were waiting [G] in the street I heard [Gb] your feet [D] but could not [B] meet
[G] _
My [Ab] lily [G] of the land, my [D] own lily, [G] my [Eb] lady
_ [Ab] Resting in a billet [Gb] just behind [Eb] the line Even though we're [G] [Eb] parted, your lips [Ab] are close to mine
You wait [Eb] where that [Db] [Ab] lantern softly [F] gleams Your [Bbm] sweet [Eb] face seems [Ab] to haunt my dreams
[Eb] My lily of [Ab] the land, my [Eb] own lily, [Ab] my lady _ _
